One of the biggest, most popular game series is almost back. Grand Theft Auto 6 it seems on track for a fall release next year — slightly more specific than the previous release window of “2025”.
There’s no new trailer, and GTA publisher Take-Two isn’t quite ready to give a specific release date. CEO Strauss Zelnick said Diversity: “I think we’ll leave it there for now.”
The sixth major installment will be set in Leonidas (Rockstar’s equivalent of Florida) and will focus mainly on Vice City (Miami). In comparison GTA Vice City, however, will be modern. So I’m banking on OnlyFans pastiches, vapes, self-driving cars, and everything else 2020s. Plus explosions and crimes.

OpenAI and Reddit announced a partnership on Thursday for OpenAI to surface Reddit discussions on ChatGPT and bring AI-powered features for Reddit to its users. The partnership will “enable OpenAI tools to better understand and display Reddit content, particularly on recent topics,” the companies said in a joint statement. As part of the deal, OpenAI will also be an advertising partner on Reddit. ugh.
I resurrected my Reddit habit thanks to an incredible/cursed game called . So hopefully soon I can ask ChatGPT what certain cards and terms mean.
But it doesn’t address exorbitant fees or bots.
The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill that could provide at least some accountability for Ticketmaster and other live event sellers. NBC News The TICKET Act (not to be confused with a separate Senate bill with the same test acronym) requires ticket sellers to list to buyers the total cost of admission – including all fees – in advance.
Ticket industry reform became a political point-scoring item in late 2022 after Ticketmaster’s Taylor Swift fiasco. The service, owned by Live Nation, an industry stalwart, has melted down as millions of fans battled “a staggering number” of bots. Ticketmaster said pre-sale codes reached 1.5 million fans, but 14 million (including those pesky bots) tried to buy tickets.
